Polyester is made from petroleum resource that creates damaging environmental impacts during the manufacturing process. The recycled polyester was prepared from PET waste bottles. The object was to study the chemical as well as physical properties of the virgin & recycled polyester fabric. The virgin & recycled polyester yarn with 75 Denier & 150 Denier was procured from Polygenta industries, India & Reliance Industries, India respectively. The fabric was produced on Sample Weaving Machine. The fabrics were dyed with Coralene Yellow 4G disperse dyes. The various color aspects like K/S, fastness on Virgin & Recycled polyester fabric were measured by using computer color matching system. The result showed that Disperse dyed recycled polyester fabric made from both denier showed lesser K/S values compared to virgin from 0.5% to 4% shade. At 4 % shade the difference in K/S value is not significant. Further, as percentage shade increases above 4%, improvement in dye uptake was observed for recycled sample.
